"The Gaokao“-National College Entrance Examination

The Zen philosophy teaches us to approach each task with mindfulness and enthusiasm. Language learning isn’t just about mastering grammar or vocabulary; it’s about immersing yourself in the culture, sounds, and rhythms of a new world. Start with curiosity and joy.

Why Passion Matters
Studies in motivation psychology reveal that intrinsic interest—the joy of learning for its own sake—leads to better retention and long-term success (Deci & Ryan, 1985). To channel this:
•	Choose a focus that excites you: Is it the music, the cuisine, or the stories of the language’s culture? Let your interests guide your learning.
•	Set a theme for the month: Dedicate January to learning words and phrases around a specific theme, like food or travel.
